FAILURE TO TAKE WARNING

Causes Another Railroad Accident on
the II. & o.
Two passenger trains on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad collided yesterday morn
ing, near the "Y," at 9:55 o'clock. The
Hagerstown local--W. A. Cook, conductor,
and Peter MaDz, engineer-was coming In,
being due at 0:53, ana was on the "Y," pre-
paratory to backing into the station, when
the Baltimore local No. 81, ten minutes be-
hind time, came laundering down the track
and struck the last car OF the Hagerstown
train about the center and partially turned
1T over, It being upheld by the steep bank
on the south side of the track. The car
was damaged considerably, the woodwork
on the side struck being pretty thoroughly
splintered, while q number of the seats
were knocked out Of shape. The passen-
gers In the car were shaken up and bruised,
ope Of them, Mrs. o. d. Summle, OF Ia
ous manner, her spine being affected. Mr..
Kilgore, of Rockville; Sheriff Miller. of
Montgomery county, and Francis Miller
were slightly injured, Mr.. Miller having his
clothes partially burned from being thrown
against the stove.
The Baltimore train suffered no injury,
the engineer and fireman having jumped of
their engine when they saw that collision
was inevitable. A few seconds would have
made all the difference, for In an instant
more the Hagerstown train would have
been .clear Of the switch and the Balti-
more train would have had an open track.
General Agent Legge said the accident
was due to the negligence of Engineer
Watts, OF No. 81, who paid no attention to
the two danger signals given him, one, half
mile out, and the other just outside of
the "Y.n
Engineer G. r Watts said his air brakes
failed entirely, that he whistled "down
brakes" and that every endeavor was being
made to stop when the collision occurred
He saw the signals but could do no more

A PERFECT MUDDLE,
What Congress Made OF tho Appropri-
alton for Street Improyements

| "'vh aof improvements.
The commissioners think that the District
appropriation bill, SO far as IL refers TO the
street improvements, is a perfect muddle.
Mr.. Wheatley cited an instance where a
SUM was given for the improvement of the
Anacostia road, which was not asked to
have improved. Capt. Eugene Griffin, of
the engineer department, In speaking OF the
$4,000 surplus for street improvements,
said: 81 have noticed some OF the alleged
peculiar features referred to, but there is
one point In reference to the subject which
is not appreciated. The bill says, 'For the
Improvement Of streets and avenues named
In the schedule prepared by the commits
sioners. This is specific, but II does not
declare that the expenditure Of the appro-
priation shall be restricted to the amounts
estimated by the commissioners. These es.
Inmates which the commissioners supply
Congress are simply approximate and cam
not be absolute. On certain OF the streets
the estimate was for gravel road but the
surplus might well he used in laying a
pavement OF asphalt or other material.
Now, the law says that not more than SO
per square yard can be expended In i'm
proving the streets, but IL you look at the
estimates OF the commissioners you will find
that In many cases the amount asked for
is S2.65 to So per square yard. This, you
ing street the old pavement has to be torn
up and oarted away, then the cost Of labor,
inspection, and many other necessary dc.
tails will run the actual cost OF paving the
street to the amount / have mentioned.
Now, for instance, in the estimates for the
Improvement Of streets in the northeast
section the grading Of certain Of the streets
may have been all that was proposed by the
commissioners, whereas II the appropriation
is greater than the amount asked for grad.
Ing, the surplus may be expended In paving
the streets. For the northwest section
$4,000 was given, but this includes the
Improvement OF New Jersey avenue from
street to the Boundary. This, we have
carefully estimated, will require at least
$4,000. Subtract this amount from the
principal and 1t leaves but $07, 200 for the
remaining streets. Observe now that the
commissioners estimated that Sl90, 900 was
necessary for that WORK. Deduct the
amount S97, 900 from that sum and 1t leaves
S93, eco, which will have to be cut of from
the proposed Improvements in that Sec

RETURNED FOR TRIAL,
Tho Troubles of Two Brothers-In-Law
Revived


Joseph P.Angney, who was arrested in
Michigan not long since and gave bond to
appear here, was In the criminal court yes
terday when the court met, and his trial
was set for tho 18th of April next. The
case is somewhat old, but there is consider
able OF interest connected with IL. In De.
cenber, 1889, II is charged that Angney
made an unprovoked assault upon his
brother-in-law, James II. Wilmot, In room
at the st. Marc Aotel and attempted to kill
him. subsequently he was indicted and
placed under $1,000 bond, Augustus De
Grummond becoming his surety. When
the case was called for trial It was found
that Angney had jumped his bail and dis
appeared. Mr.. De Grummond made every
enort to secure the man, expendlng coasld-
cradle time and money in prosecuting the
search. Mr.. Wilmot also lent his aid
In the same direction, but without
cessfu%. % Time prOspSSd passed OF on 0Gn ans 'aS the
government insisting on the carrying
out OF the bond, the marshal sold Mr.. De
Grummond's house, and out OF the proceeds
placed $1,000 to the credit Of the United
states for the failure Of the surety to pro.
duce ADgney at the bar Of the criminal
court according to promise. This pressure
against the bondsman spurred him on In
which Mr.. Wilmot encouraged him In every
way possible. Finally trail was struck,
and silence was observed lest some friend
might give Angney the note OF warning.
II was ascertained that he had located In
Michigan and married lady Of prominence
and wealth, his first wife having secured
divorce on the ground OF desertion and non
support. deputy marshal, with a United
states warrant, was dispatched to the place
where he was living, and he was arrested.
lie was taken before United States Judge
and placed under $4,000 bail to appear
at the March term OF the criminal court
held in this city. This bond has been re.
spected to the extent Of appearing; whether
1t will be when the time for trial ar
rives remains to be seen. Probably the
worst feature OF the case is the fact that Mr.
De Grummond, having lost his property
In fulfilling the bond. which was given to
release the accused as mere act OF acc On.

$1,000 except through an appropriation by

will be made next winter.
